      Hello

      Intro is fine, you can avoid mentioning Narendra Dev, he played an important role in formation of Congress Socialist party; here you can mention C.R.Das..he was an important figure w.r.t. Swarajya party.
      Some points that you have mentioned in the role of Swarajists are good for example, council entry, election of Vithalbai Patel as speaker etc.. Further, you can talk about- speeches on self-government, civil liberties and industrialization; defeat of the Public Safety Bill in 1928; filled the political vacuum at a time when the national movement was recouping its strength; exposed the hollowness of the Montague Chelmsford scheme of 1919 etc
      In limitations, you can mention their failure to resist perks and privileges of power and office; failure to support peasants’ cause in Bengal etc.. Other points are fine.
      Conclusion is decent, you have mixed up socialism at places which can be avoided..it was not high on their agenda at that particular time.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Introduction is fine but a bit bland..you can mention the names of important leaders of Swarajya party such as C.R.Das, Motilal Nehru..also some timeline can be incorporated for better impact..after Congress session in Gaya in 1922..
      Next part is good, you have covered the important points..election of Vithalbhai Patel as speaker of Central Legislative Assembly can also be mentioned as one of the achievements.
      Limitations are also broadly fine…Additionally, failure to support the peasants’ cause in Bengal, lacking a policy to coordinate their militancy inside legislatures with the mass struggle outside- can be written.
      Conclusion is decent enough..similar aims as to no-changers can be mentioned.
      Keep practicing. 🙂
